[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 1376123, member: 25432"] If the machine worked fine before the hard drive failure, then yeah, it is completely worth replacing the drive. Personally, I prefer Western Digital drives, but all you need is a 2.5in SATA drive. It will probably be formatted for windows when you buy it so you'll have to reformat for Mac, then reinstall the system. [/QUOTE]
